Espace.ch seeks dialog with the readership

Readers can now comment on most news articles on the Espace.ch Internet portal. With this function, Espace Media Groupe wants to intensify the exchange of opinions with users. However, this function does not affect the reporting of the individual Espace print media such as the Berner Zeitung or the Bund. The articles from the print media that can be found on Espace.ch do not have a comment function at all, and while access to many topics is open to everyone, only participants who have registered with their e-mail address are permitted to comment on more sensitive topics. Very sensitive topics are also not released for comment. In addition, all reader contributions are checked by the editorial team several times a day, as Beat Rüdt, head of the Espace.ch editorial team, assures Werbewoche. At the moment, the editorial team does not have much work to do with this; a random check by Werbewoche did not turn up a single comment.
In addition to the new article comments, Espace.ch readers have also been able to take part in the public discussion in the topic forums for some time now.
